American actor and singer Tyrese Gibson has revealed plans to pursue major investment opportunities in Uganda after meeting President Yoweri Museveni and touring the Africa Coffee Park in Ntungamo.
The Fast & Furious star made the revelation during his visit to the coffee facility, where he praised entrepreneur Nelson Tugume for building what he described as a special coffee project with government support.
Gibson said his discussions in Uganda had generated ambitious ideas that could attract international attention to the country.
“We got some ideas and some of it is going to scare you because we are dreaming big.”
The Hollywood star said he wants to better understand Uganda and contribute to projects that can improve people’s lives rather than simply visiting the country for publicity.
He also praised President Museveni for supporting Uganda’s coffee industry following their meeting at State House Entebbe earlier this week.
Gibson’s Uganda visit is being supported by Talent Africa Group in partnership with government and tourism stakeholders. He has also participated in the launch of Explore Uganda Coffee Tourism, a campaign promoting the country’s coffee, tourism and cultural experiences.
His itinerary includes a visit to the Source of the Nile, a coffee-tree planting activity and interactions with coffee farmers in Western Uganda.
